"Holy Days"

 2026 * Not Rated * 1h 41m I think the film industry from Australia and New Zealand are quite underrated and definitely deserve more attention. This little Kiwi indie gem should be better known. It's a fun, well-crafted road trip movie that I really enjoyed. The three principals did a great job, and you get the feeling they all had a great time making this movie.

Three older nuns, played by Judy Davis, Jacki Weaver, and Miriam Margolyes live together in a big, rundown home. They own the building but one day, a developer decides he can have the property condemned and build a resort on the property. The nuns find out that the deed to the property is in the hands of one of the nun's sister. However they need to drive to the southern island of New Zealand to get it. They head out with a young boy, who's grieving from the loss of his mother.

What ensues is your typical, wacky road trip adventure that'll put a smile on your face. It's a little bit formulaic and there aren't a ton of surprises. But sometimes, that's the perfect medicine! 

3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
